NGF activates NTRK1. 2 / 2
2 |

"Neurotrophins signal via Trk tyrosine kinase receptors. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the cognate ligand for TrkA, the brain-derived neurotrophic factor for TrkB, and NT-3 for TrkC. NT-3 also binds TrkA as a lower affinity heterologous ligand."

"Additionally, NGF stimulated the expression of VEGF isoforms in cancer explants. The effect was dose-dependent and inhibited by a NGF antibody and by K(252a), a trk receptor inhibitor."
